DML's Seal Team Six figure set.

................The good news is Dragon USA is finally a 1/35th scale figure set that isn't another increasingly obscure World War Two subject.  The bad news is it is actually a re-release two of DML's Navy Seal Team sets from the early nineties............ Actually the news isn't that bad. The Elite Forces series figure sets where, in many ways, superior to those made by Trumpeter; the only manufacture currently making modern subjects. The range of subjects not only included American, Soviet/Russian, British and other elite forces but also Vietnam, Korean War and even modern (90s) law enforcement sets.  Over the years DML became more geared toward World War Two subjects and a lot of the new stuff was discontinued. Many of the sets can still be found in older hobby shops...............The re-release of the figure sets was inspired by the successful elimination of Asama Bin Laden in Pakistan. The SEAL team, according to most,  wore standard digital camo, not  the short lived  First Gulf War era anti infrared uniforms on the entry team figures.  I'm not  sure about the body armor. The athletic style headgear, on two of the figures,  looks a bit strange and the single lens night vision device looks a bit dated.............The other set includes two figures in wetsuits, re breather equipment and what looks like a Limpet style mine of some sort.  Two other figures, in camo uniforms are included. Non of this has anything to do with the Bin Laden raid but the set does represent the  range of SEAL operations.  Also, dated or not, the only set I can think of that includes modern frogman figures.
